Your Company Summoned Something You Can’t Banish

And the invasion is a lot costlier than any ghost or spirit…

Sure, ghosts and spirits are scary, but there’s something a lot scarier out there that many companies around the world are summoning without even knowing: Hackers. Just like ghosts and spirits, hackers aren’t seen physically, but they wreak havoc behind-the-scenes; tormenting their victims endlessly.

When hackers are summoned, it’s a lot costlier than any ghost or spirit invasion. In fact, an attack costs you more than just the time wasted as systems don’t function properly – an attack costs you in lost customer confidence and reputational damage. So how do companies summon hackers? There’s a few ways:

Lack of security measures: When you don’t have the right security measures in place, such as anti-virus software, firewalls, and web-content filtering, you’re leaving your network wide open to hackers.

Lack of regular training: If you’re not keeping staff members trained on security best practices, they might be unaware of how to spot phishing emails or malware-ridden websites.
